Ivystorm stretched as she reached the entrance of the cave, her toes splaying out and her claws extending to get the best stretch. Then she shook her gray and white fur against the heat of the sun that glared down on her. Even though the leaves were beginning to change colors from leaf-fall, it had still been warm and dry, causing the plant life to look shriveled. It was enough to make her wonder if the hot days of greenleaf were actually going to leave them, or if it would still be this warm in the middle of leaf bare.

Shaking herself out of her thoughts, she headed out of camp. She wanted to be alone today, take a bit of a walk. Ivystorm had recently gotten in trouble for starting a fight with another Clanmate. It wasn’t her fault! Or at least, that’s what she kept telling herself. They wouldn’t give her attention, so she got it in a way that she knew they’d give it to her. If the cats around here just treated her like a warrior instead of a menace, maybe she’d act like more of a friend towards them. She snorted at the thought. As if they’d ever change.

She came upon the flower forest on her travels, watching for a moment to see if any of the bees were still around. A few buzzed about, but there seemed to be far fewer than there had been in greenleaf. Most of the herbs that flourished in the warmer months had been plucked by now and wouldn’t grow back fully until next new leaf. For a moment she considered seeing if she could find some leftover catnip to either eat herself or take back to the Clan, but she decided against it. Her destination was the lake, and she’d get there.

Pushing through the trees, she finally came to the bank of the Green Lake. The water lapped soothingly against the bank, in a lovely rhythm that could easily lull a cat to sleep. She moved closer to the water and sat one one of the rocks close by, feeling the heat it had soaked up from the sun rise through her legs and make her feel sleepy. As she closed her eyes to listen to the lake, the overwhelming sensation of sleep won out, and she curled up on the rock to take a wee nap.

Cascade adored trekking through the region, cherishing every moment of her day. She learned to treasure her vitality, thanking StellerClan daily. Perhaps not many loners acknowledged in StellerClan, but maybe it had something to do with the fact that she was raised in a Clan; EagleClan, to be precise. From the prosperous brown earthen hues of the forest foundation to the sweetness of the cerulean sky, the woodland is a three-dimensional wonderland for the eyes inclined to absorb the light. She recognized the location as CoyoteClan, with thick, lush growth and greenery but not as dense and distinguishable as SaberClan. She had constantly discovered places to hide and shelter in the thickness of SaberClan, where the sunlight scarcely illuminated the grove. A few trees of yesteryear fallen in long-forgotten storms lie upon the forest floor. The seasons have been harsh, stripping away the bark and outer layers yet rendering them all the more beautiful. They have the appearance of driftwood, twisting in patterns that reminded Cascade of seaside waves; even the moss color is kelp-like.

They are soft and damp, yet her paws come away dry. Cascade tilted her cranium upward, feeling her fur tumble further down her back; the pines are several red stones tall, reaching toward the golden rays of spring. Birdsong comes in lulls and bursts, the silence and the singing working together as well as any improvised melody. A new smile paints itself upon her delicate countenance, rose-pink nose semi-illuminated by the dappled light. Before she knew it, her paws have begun to stride, body and mind both on autopilot - it's morning-time, and no one expects her home. She felt free in the best ways possible, glad she hadn't needed to be reminded by the Clan's strictness, although StellerClan still possessed their regulations-- she heeded them. The forest is the orchestra of her mind, playing one enchanting symphony after another. The forest's leaves dance to an unheard beat, whispering their songs to the breeze. Here, sheltered by the robust trees, is every kind of life, from the humble beetle to enchanting birds of every color. She hoisted her crania to the cascading light as she dashed forward, a brilliant white shaft illuminating the path that takes her onward and somewhere possibly new. However, she skidded to a halt at an unfamiliar aroma, vision concentrating on a sleeping she-cat.

Dubiously, the damsel padded forward, remaining a few tail-lengths away as she opened her maw to articulate. "Hey, uh, you probably shouldn't fall asleep in your territory-- you could've been mauled by something or someone else." Cascade spoke loud enough that the other individual would hopefully wake. Her shoulders sunk slightly, feathery tail still as she extended her body in a lean. "I am sincerely apologetic if I'm intruding, but I reasoned it'd be more acceptable for you to be safe than regretful."

Ivystorm’s stomach rose and fell with her breathing, slow and steady. Her ears twitched every now and then, but she didn’t stir even as a leaf floated down from a nearby tree and fell upon her back. Whether it was from working hard in the Clan or the fact that her bullying that was making her exhausted was unclear. All she knew was that she was in a good sleep, her mind slowly churning as dreams started to appear. For them to be arriving so early signaled that she wasn’t getting the quality sleep that she needed. She hadn’t even been asleep ten minutes before her brain started painting pictures behind her eyes. It was greenleaf there, the trees full of leaves and flowers poking up everywhere in a rainbow of different colors. It was peaceful, and she strolled along the tall green grass, passing around the flowers and the trees, wandering aimlessly. There was nothing in particular on her mind as she did, and she was only vaguely aware of the forest around her changing. Suddenly she was in front of an impossibly tall tree, its trunk and branches soaring high into the sky farther than she could see.

She touched a paw to the trunk of the tree. It was rough, with many places for her claws to catch on to. Digging in, she began to climb the tree, her leg muscles tightening as she hoisted herself up. As she came to the first branch, she clambered on to it and looked down. She was already a long way up, the ground below her looking strange and foreign now that she was in the tall tree. As she continued to stare down she noticed some of her Clanmates below her, gazing up at her. They simply watched. If they said anything, she couldn’t hear them, though she saw no lips move so she doubted they had uttered a word. Something inside her stirred. It felt like heat rising up from her stomach and into her chest, then a tight pressure that threatened to crush her. Tearing her eyes away from them, she turned her attention back to the tree and again dug her claws in. She heaved herself upwards, higher and higher, until she came to another branch much higher up. When she reached it and looked down, she could barely even see the cats below. They were little more than specks, looking like ants. But she suddenly realized how lonely she felt, so far above the others. She wanted to climb back down and be on their level. Would they accept her if she did? It was like the dream was a metaphor.

A noise caused the gray and white she-cat to begin to wake. Opening her eyes, she glanced around, at first not recognizing where she was. Then her eyes began to adjust. Ah, she was by the Green Lake. But who had spoken to her…?

Her ears perked up and she leaped to her feet, gaze fixed on the newcomer. They didn’t smell like any Clan, so she assumed this was a loner or a rogue. Probably a loner, since they didn’t claw her. “Thank you for your concern,” she said slowly, carefully, but not without an edge to it. “And who are you, stranger?”
